Which statement is true for the vertical number line? a. -2.5 is located below -3.5 . b. -4.8 is located below 4.8 . c. 3.25 is located above 3.75 . d. -0.5 is located below -1.5 . e. 0 is located below -0.87 .

B. -4.8 is located below 4.8 .  TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical line is called the Y - AXIS.

Here also, the integers are expressed as same as the horizontal axis.

-5, -4, -3, -2, -1 , 0 , 1 2,3 4,5

In vertical line, If we move above 0, the value INCREASES.

If we move Below 0, the value DECREASES.

Now, consider the given cases:

A. -2.5 is located below -3.5 .

Here, as -3 lies Below -2.

So, -2 > -3 ⇒  -2.5  >  -3.5

So, -2.5 is located ABOVE 3.5.

B. -4.8 is located below 4.8 .

Here, as -4 lies Below 4.

So, 4 > -4 ⇒  4.8  >  -4.8

So, -4.8 is located BELOW 4.8.

C. 3.25 is located above 3.75 .

Here, 3.75  > 3.25  

⇒  3.75  is located ABOVE 3.25.

D. -0.5 is located below -1.5 .

Here, as -1.5 lies Below 0.5.

So, -0.5 > -1.5

⇒  -0.5  is located ABOVE -1.5.

E. 0 is located below -0.87 .

Here, as  -0.87  lies Below 0.

So,0  > -0.87

⇒  0  is located ABOVE-0.87.

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
